VHO - The reputable transfer statistics website Transfermarkt has just published a list of the 10 teams with the highest squad values ​​at the 2026 World Cup.

France has the most expensive squad for the 2026 World Cup.

The dominance of European powers

World football is entering a period of explosive commercial value, and this is most clearly reflected in the transfer values ​​of the stars participating in the biggest football event on the planet.

Of the top five most expensive teams in this year's tournament, all are under the management of the Union of European Football Associations (UEFA).

Leading this list is none other than the reigning World Cup runner-up - the French national team. Coach Didier Deschamps' squad boasts the most expensive team on the planet, with an estimated total value of 1.52 billion Euros.

This is perfectly understandable given that "Les Bleus" have a balanced squad across all three lines, and also possess a host of top superstars at the peak of their form with transfer values ​​reaching hundreds of millions of Euros each, such as Kylian Mbappé, Ousmane Dembélé, Marcus Thuram, and Michael Olise.

Ranked second is the England national team. The "Three Lions" squad is valued at 1.36 billion Euros. England also boasts a star-studded lineup of players in their prime, highly sought after by major clubs across Europe, including Jude Bellingham , Declan Rice, Bukayo Saka, and Marcus Rashford.

Third place goes to the reigning European champions Spain with a valuation of 1.22 billion Euros.

The decline of South American football and surprising positions.

One of the biggest surprises at this year's football festival is the decline in commercial value of the South American representatives. Historically, both Brazil and Argentina, once the biggest rivals to Europe, are showing signs of losing ground in the Transfermarkt rankings.

Brazil, the "Samba Dancers" and the team holding the record for the most World Cup titles, ranks only 6th with a valuation of 928.20 million Euros. Despite this, Brazil remains the highest-ranked team among non-European nations.

The biggest surprise was the reigning world champion Argentina, who dropped to 7th place with a value of 782.50 million Euros. Following them is the Netherlands with a valuation of 754.20 million Euros.

The reason Argentina, despite being very strong and still a top contender for the 2026 World Cup title, is not among the most expensive squads in the tournament is because the "Albiceleste" squad has a relatively high average age (29.1 years) and is in a generational transition.

The most important pillars that led the team to glory, including Lionel Messi, goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez, midfielder Rodrigo De Paul, and center-back Cristian Otamendi, are all getting older, so their transfer value has decreased significantly.

At the bottom of the top 10, the Norwegian national team ranks 9th with a value of 589.90 million Euros. Despite being near the bottom, Norway receives special attention from the media because superstar striker Erling Haaland alone accounts for almost a third of the entire Nordic team's value, with a valuation of up to 200 million Euros.

Belgium ranks 10th with an estimated value of 547.50 million Euros.
